The Ones: 5 Best New Rap Songs From WizKid, Peezy, Tory Lanez, Alwoo, and Tyrique Shahmir

With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily roundup of the best new rap tracks you need to hear curated by the Levels team. We sort through all the new songs—across all the platforms and subgenres—so you don’t have to. Thank us later.

Peezy - “Duckin’ Wreck” [ft. Cash Kidd and Big Rizz]

“Heard your lil bro singin’ like you Moesha,” is the best ’90s sitcom rap reference I’ve heard all year and there have been a lot. That line was courtesy of the enthusiastic Cash Kidd who was enlisted by Peezy along with Big Rizz for this Detroit mega collab. There is no line on the track that could ever top the “Moesha” name drop but Peezy reaching the breaking point with his rivals is pretty close: “Still livin’ with his mom and drive a piece of shit.”

WizKid - “Fever”

WizKid may not be a rapper, but he’s always caught up in drama like one. And who the hell doesn’t love drama? The video for his soon-to-be hit, “Fever,” is throwing the Nigerian tabloids into a panic. Is WizKid dating popular Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage? The two in the “Fever” video are going at it on the beach and WizKid looks to be in love as the steel pan drums, blaring horns, and tropical melody hit. It’s just another added element to the nonstop drama that is WizKid and the music being as great as it is, makes it all that much better.

Tory Lanez - “DrIP DrIp Drip” [ft. Meek Mill]

“I am the greatest artist of all time,” Tory Lanez says in the “DrIP DrIp Drip” video. I’m rolling my eyes but we can give Tory a pass this time because his Meek Mill-assisted single does capture all of the essential aspects of his music. On the track, Tory is deep into his melody not trying to force in some half-assed bars. He leaves that to Meek Mill, who tries out a melody, and is still one of the strongest feature artists around.

Alwoo - “Ride or Die” [ft. Pretty Brayah]

It was a sad day for Detroit a couple of days ago. The passing of rising rapper Alwoo sent the city into shock. In recent days one of his final videos featuring Pretty Brayah was unleashed and it’s a love ballad between the two. The song was an example of an artist who was growing and quickly becoming more versatile. There was no doubt he was on his way to the top of the city’s scene.

Tyrique Shahmir - “Mas” [ft. Kareem Ledell]

East Tennessee’s Tyrique Shahmir drops in a smooth track reminiscent of the music of artists like fellow Tennessean Isaiah Rashad. The Deep Cut production is smoky and Tyrique takes it completely under his control to spit his Southern street tales: “I pray to God that moms don’t catch me trappin’.”
